Chelsea is to be excluded from European football in the future – including the Champions League – after they have entered UEFA’s strict financial rules.
The blues have suffered a roller coaster season, but have given themselves a strong chance to come to the Champions League for the first time since their last top four -fourth prime minister League.
But Chelsea’s strong expenses in the past seasons will bring you into difficulties with the European management committee, which do not accept some of the same accounting practices the association used to avoid potential sanctions from the Premier League.
Chelsea made a win of 198.7 million GBP last summer by selling the women’s team to a sister company. A similar tactic was used in 2023 to collect 76.5 million GBP with two hotels that previously belonged to the club.
The sale of assets to sister companies is acceptable in accordance with the provisions of the Premier League, but not the UEFA. Therefore, the lucrative sums from these shops must be made from the financial pictures that are used to determine compliance. Without the additional income of 275.2 million GBP, Chelsea has reached 358 million GBP in the past three years, far beyond the permissible UEFA threshold of 170 million GBP.
The times writes that Chelsea is already in conversations with the UEFA about a settlement that “probably contains a fine” and to agree to the “sustainability plan” for future expenses by 2028. The UEFA is expected to provide details about the final settlement next month.
However, since it once violated the rules, it is possible that a tougher punishment, to which such a plan is also prohibited from European competition.
Even under the Premier League Watch, Chelsea had to reduce the value of the hotel deal by 6 million GBP, and the same could happen in the event of a sales team’s sale. There are doubts as to whether 200 million GBP are an exact and more appealing value if you have sales and the youngest losses.
